Hessians and Hellhounds
Fire erases all… even the undead….
One of London’s most recognisable Afflicted has been incinerated in a horrifying way. Whispers spread that a hellhound prowls the streets, snatching the lost souls who have escaped the afterworld. Except, Wycliff is doing no such thing—could there possibly be another such creature in London?
While Hannah and Wycliff investigate the unnatural flames, unrest grows on the streets as someone seeks to unmask how the undead women stave off rot. Someone is agitating for all Afflicted to be eradicated, in a conspiracy that will set the common Englishman against the nobles.
To save the Afflicted and stop the uprising, Wycliff must face the void that whispers his name from an inky darkness. While in the afterlife, can he wrest Hannah free of the curse squeezing her heart? Assuming they can get out alive…

Cozy Pairings
Speakeasy is a rich and layered fragrance that opens with warm spice and soft smoke, blending cardamom, incense, and pimento berry. At its heart, notes of saffron, plum blossom, and tobacco leaves create a deep and slightly sweet warmth, while hints of licorice add a subtle intrigue. The scent settles into a smooth, lingering base of palo santo, patchouli, vanilla, and dark chocolate, bringing a soft sweetness to its darker edges. Complex and atmospheric, this fragrance feels warm, enveloping, and quietly captivating.
Why we chose this: Hannah Miles lives a quiet existence helping her parents research a most terrible affliction, and then a murder at her best friend's engagement party pulls her into an investigation alongside the rudest, most obnoxious viscount in London. Speakeasy carries the layered, atmospheric richness of a world where Regency manners sit alongside monsters, where secrets lurk beneath polished surfaces and the most interesting people are never quite what society says they are. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle as Hannah and Wycliff begin their reluctant partnership, and let the smoky warmth of cardamom and dark chocolate fill the room like a drawing room in Georgian London where the chandelier is beautiful and the body is on the terrace.
